Of the Seventy
I feel eternally grateful that from my young age, the law of the Lord started to be engraved deeply in my heart through sacred ordinances in His holy house. How fundamental it is to know that He is our God, that we are His people, and that whatever circumstances surround us, if we are faithful and obey the covenants we have entered into, we can be "encircled about eternally in the arms of his love."

We further witness that Joseph Smith was given the gift and power of God to translate an ancient record: the Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Pages of this sacred text include an account of the personal ministry of Jesus Christ among people in the Western Hemisphere soon after His Resurrection. It teaches of life's purpose and explains the doctrine of Christ, which is central to that purpose. As a companion scripture to the Bible, the Book of Mormon testifies that all human beings are sons and daughters of a loving Father in Heaven, that He has a divine plan for our lives, and that His Son, Jesus Christ, speaks today as well as in days of old.
James made me a spinach, pineapple, and banana smoothie for breakfast. I also had a piece of zucchini bread. Did I or did I not take my Tramadol. Who knows?
James and I had scriptures and prayers after breakfast. We read from the Book of Mormon, from the Doctrine and Covenants, and a section from the "Come Follow Me" lesson.
We have more sunflowers than ever in our filed since the rain last week. They are so beautiful. I love to take a picture of Luna in the field surrounded by flowers and grass and the mountains in the background with the blue sky and clouds. Speaking of Luna, I"m not sure if I shared this story but one day before we went to the valley James went outside and Luna was in our yard, eating the grass. He concluded that she used her teeth to lift up the chain on the gate. She's just a little too smart for her own good.
James spent time today ordering lumber for the LaCroix job. He went outside to work for awhile but came back in because he felt dizzy. We listened to a chapter of "Son of Salzburg." We had frozen green burros for lunch and then took naps.
This afternoon I posted last Monday's blogpost and finished up indexing for August.
A hurrican, Hurricane Ida, hits New Orleans. Lots of damage and not power. The situation in Afghanistan continues to bring concern. I have not heard anything about the poor people in Haiti.
This afternoon we also went on a "look at the sunflowers" ride. We went past the field on 3144 and discovered that what everyone is calling Lake Vernon is right next to the sunflower field. Beautiful.
I asked James if we could go to Dollar General to get some milk. Of course he said yes. I was sad because they were out of milk and won't have any until tomorrow afternoon. James got us a box of drumstick ice creams, four. We ate them all, two each. Afterwards we regretted it. We picked up a card for me at the post office from Carmen. It rained on us on the way home.
I listened to Dave and Emily on "Don't Miss This."
The actor Ed Asner passed away yesterday. He has been in several Hallmark movies and the last one I saw him in he looked very frail.
My favorite, "Christmas on the Bayou"
